About This Book
Inside Iraq's Green Zone
The fullest, most intimate account of life in the Green Zone, the
sheltered bubble where idealistic Americans planned the occupation while
Iraq fell apart.
The Green Zone, Baghdad, 2003: in this walled-off compound of swimming
pools and luxurious amenities, Paul Bremer and his Coalition Provisional
Authority set out to fashion a new, democratic Iraq. Staffed by
idealistic aides chosen primarily for their political affiliations and
views on issues such as abortion, the CPA spent the crucial first year
of occupation pursuing goals that had little to do with the immediate
crises of a postwar nation. In this acclaimed firsthand account, the
former Baghdad bureau chief of The Washington Post gives us an intimate
and remarkably dispassionate portrait of life inside this Oz-like place,
which continued unaffected by the growing mayhem outside. This is a
quietly devastating portrait of imperial folly, and an essential book
for anyone who wants to understand those early days when things went
irrevocably wrong in Iraq.
Rajiv Chandrasekaran is an assistant managing editor of The Washington
Post and currently heads the Post's continuous news department, which
provides breaking news stories to the paper's Web site,
washingtonpost.com. Prior to that he was bureau chief in Baghdad,
before, during, and after the war. Previously he served as Cairo bureau
chief and Southeast Asia correspondent, and covered the war in
Afghanistan. He joined the Post in 1994. He has served as the journalist
in residence at the International Reporting Project at the Johns Hopkins
School for Advanced International Studies in Washington, and as a public
policy scholar at the Woodrow Wilson International Center, also in
Washington.
